Going to Wanaka next week, I want to try panning somewhere ( first timer) Where should I go?

I'd like to get into gold fossicking and see a bit of the country.

Cheers Ian

The Arrow River behind Arrowtown is the nearest public gold fossicking area. I've always found a few colours there whenever I've tried there...
